Looking for a decent portable nebulizer

Thanks so much Sue for this (and all you do for us and this forum!). I had a new (surprising) dx of CF and had heard somewhere that this qualified patients for insurance coverage on the eRapid - but since Medicare is already paying for my (inexpensive) TrekS it seems doubtful they’d go for the eRapid. I was able to get the TrekS as my one covered neb through Medicare as it was submitted as a necessity due to my travel schedule. Had I know how inexpensive it was, I’d have opted for something different and just bought it myself. But oh well, live and learn. I guess with this disease, there will be other opportunities to try something different next time.

Insurance paid for my Pari Lamira nebulizer kit when I was on Arikayce. It came with an ebase controller, a blue disc shaped controller that doesn't require a hose-just a "handset",i.e. nebulizing cup with an aerosol head. I think this is the same thing that you all are talking about. When I googled eRapid, 2 totally different pictures came up-one being the blue disc shaped controller and the other a larger rectangular gray controller. I was planning on using for my 7% saline when I travel but need a new handset and aerosol head. I just figured it worked for the Arikayce, it should work for the 7% NaCl solution. Am I on the right track?
